Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has broken the news about his hair transplant via Twitter: 'I was going bald at 25, why not. I'm delighted with the result.'
The 25-year-old Manchester United star said his head was 'still a bit bruised and swollen.
'When it dies down u will be first to see it. Anyone recommend any good hair gel.
'I had it done in Harley street hair clinic London. Thanks to all the staff who looked after me.'
Wife Coleen tweeted: 'Waynes had his hair done! His own decision not me asking him, like a lot are saying!! Pleased for him and it will look great.'
And team-mate Rio Ferdinand quipped: 'Just don't go down the wearing a alice band route!!
'You'll be doing head&shoulders adverts soon! Hope its gone ok Good luck lad.'
Rooney may have had some extra time on his hands as he was suspended from playing in Saturday's European Championship qualifier between England and Switzerland.
Rooney was spotted wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie despite the heat on Thursday when he left Queen Anne Street Medical Centre in Central London.
Hair transplant patients often wear headgear to hide specks of blood left behind during the early stages of the procedure.
The clinic, off London's Harley Street, where many top clinics and doctors have their surgeries, is used by many VIP clients.
The clinic uses follicular transfer, whereby hairs are transplanted in groups of 1-4 and grow naturally in the scalp.
It claims the method is 'undetectable' and a 'major advance over older hair transplantation procedures that used larger grafts' and often produced an 'unnatural look'.
In January in the UK, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) began a crackdown on Twitter users and bloggers using their online presence to endorse products without clearly stating their relationship with the brand.
Celebrity twitter endorsements are already big business in the US, where artists such as Snoop Dogg can earn a reported $3,000 (£1,900) for sending a tweet endorsing a product. But the US Federal Trade Commission insists that such endorsements must contain the words "ad" or "spon" to show the reference has been paid for. However such a requirement does not currently exist in the UK or Ireland.
For example, US Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who has more than 5.6 million followers, can collect up to $10,000 for tweeting.
